1940 Trincomalee, Sri Lanka
The bay at Trincomalee, on the eastern coast of Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), photographed in the early 1940s. Trincomalee's deep natural harbor, among the finest anchorages in the Indian Ocean, made the port strategically important to the British during the Second World War.
